Where from ? I see scopes around but never any original mounts.

Original mounts are like unicorns

I see there are ppl with stables of unicorns... but they keep them to themselves. .

1940 ! Nice find !

Now can I request a picture of the scope on the rifle ???
SVT snipers are so ###y !

That is nice - 1940 dated, no refurb marks and it hasn't been re-calibrated to the mosin Nagant.

eBay off OstFront or SNIPER I assume??

very nice ,my svt has two bolts trough the stock in the pistol grip area

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Two is likely to repair a pre existing crack at the wrist

 

[ben777lemay]

I'm speechless ! Its so beautifull !

There are websites that go into great detail on the PU scopes by year, by maker, by markings and by screw configurations. Good find!

my svt has two bolts but no cracks at all, from Corwin around Christmas time,,, awesome truly awesome

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

Usually one is to reinforce the rifle and prevent cracks, as the SVT was prone to doing in cold conditions. Two makes me think that duting refurbishment the Soviets saw SOMETHING but don't worry. If she needed two, she needed two and now she's good

 

[catapult]

exactly. This one with one screw, doesn't have any crack in the stock. I had one last year with screww in the pistol grip and there was a nice crack in the wood.

It is refurbished scope (the one posted by Catapult in first post), I think refurbishing marks are just not highlighted.
For comparison here's original one from my collection, note different bluing.

tourets are reconditioned for Mosin with CB on and no signifiant space between the 0 and 1 ?

When I said "It is refurbished scope, I think refurbishing marks are just not highlighted" I was talking about the scope you posted originally. Yours is refurbished. Does it have refurbishing marks? There are other giveaways apart of the bluing and refurbishing markings. Some refurbished scopes retained SVT-40 features, yours included. Most were re-calibrated for MN.

The scope I posted is correct original as issued SVT-40 scope.
